Best Chinese chicken salad you will ever put I your fatty mouth. Unreal how good it is. You will have high expectations and will not be disappointed. I haven't tried anything else but the Chinese chicken salad. Yes I drive 1.5 hours round trip just to eat it. Ridiculous I know. read more

Comforts is one of San Anselmo (and Marin County)'s best treasures. I've been coming for months and have never been let down. It's true that there's a little discipline instilled in the customers as they walk in but it's necessary to get people to respect social distancing. And it's a work in progress. I am sure the restaurant pays attention to constructive criticisms. The dishes remain excellent every time I go - pandemic or not. And the service is always courteous. My turkey sandwich was well prepared and remained moist and juicy once I got to eat it at home. The breaded chicken nuggets were seasoned to perfection and delighted my wife and daughter. I'll be back. read more

Best Chinese chicken salad I've ever had... and I usually hate Chinese chicken salad. I first tried Comforts when my boss invited me to a lunch meeting that he had catered. He basically ordered a huge tray of Chinese chicken salad with baked bread on the side. I definitely had my doubts, but now I'll drive there during my short lunch break just to eat it again. The chicken is lean and the greens are very fresh. The almonds that come inside the salad have this heavenly roasted taste that accents the salad perfectly. The dressing is probably the best part -- it's part sesame oil and part vinegar so it has a tangy flavor to it, but it's not too bitter, either. I can't get enough of that dressing! There's metered street parking or a side lot full of meters, although that seems to fill up quickly. Sunday parking is free. read more

Nice atmosphere - casual deli with a cafe twist. You take a number and then are served at the counter for deli needs. For cafe side, it appears there are waiters. The service was fast and the food was good. We ordered from the deli counter, a bow-tie pasta salad and an heirloom tomato salad. The pasta salad could have used a little more seasoning (garlic) but that's just a personal taste. Atmosphere was a 4, price was a 4.5 (affordable, $7.60 for a half pint and a quarter point of the salads), service was a 4, and food was a 3 (but could just be what we ordered). Overall, I'd go back and likely will soon to try more of the eats. The Chinese Chicken Salad is meant to be incredibly popular. read more

It is so difficult for me to write this review, considering how much my family and I love their food and how long we have been shopping here! Unfortunately I have come in a couple of times, not realizing that it was right before closing and boy was the service awful. I understand that it is the end of the day and that everyone would love to just go home, but in that case, why not just close your doors earlier or change your business hours? I came in seeing everyone cleaning and looking at me like, ugh what does she want!! I just wanted to quickly pick up some dinner for my family after a long day of work myself and be happily on my way. Moral of the story, do not come here right before they are closing because service will not be pleasant, rather rushed and there will not be much to choose from because they are in a hurry to put it all away. I wasn't the only one in there feeling this way. Everyone looked at each other like geez what's going on in here?? Maybe next time, just politely tell your customers that you are closed and all of us could have gone somewhere else and avoided this situation to begin with. I still love their food. Great for parties or to bring home. It's just yummy!! Maybe just stick to coming in at brunch or lunch time to avoid any bad vibes from the staff tho. read more

We had Comforts cater an open house for us this past week. Every part of the process was fantastic. From Patti in catering, to the delivery, to the food itself and its wonderful presentation. Asian Chicken Salad is absolutely the best salad--full of beautiful chicken. The Chicken Okasan is also fantastic. But, the overall experience itself is what stood out--effortless and very well done. Kudos to the entire Comforts concept. read more

3.5 Stars Farmers Breakfast - two buttermilk cornmeal griddle cakes, bacon or sausage and two eggs Griddlecakes-your standard griddle cake done fine, no wows or lows Sausage-disappointing not made in house so I went for bacon, again no frills, just done well Eggs-prepared well, although needed seasoning Addition of fresh fruit was a great accent Maui Smoothie-great portion for the price, refreshing, vibrant in flavor, well worth ordering again Overall Thoughts I felt the food was fine but didn't live up to their name read more

Had a small hot chocolate with a raspberry bar. Both were very tasty. I imagine it gets really busy here in the morning and during lunch. I came in around 5:30 pm. If it weren't so far away from the 101 I would come here more often. I will definitely be back here when I have work in the area read more

Comforts - Raspberry bar with a small hot choco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Anselmo, California

Such a great spot to stop by for really yummy food! There is a great fresh deli counter with salads and an incredible fresh pastry section. Cookies, macaroons, breads, cupcakes, mini cupcakes - you can see where I spent most of my time! I had the Chinese chicken salad which is boxed and ready for takeout or to eat-in & the dressing is so delicious and popular, they've bottled it up for you to take home! And speaking of bottles, all sorts of dressings and sauces adorn the shelves along with fun knickknacks and small gift items. Small tables to sit at inside and friendly staff to help you out! There are also cold drinks for purchase and a free water station. Can't wait to go back, but I have some pastries to tide me over until then! read more

Food is good. Fresh quality. Service is ok. My tamales were not heated up and when brought to their attention I was given dumbfounded look. Service counter is Chaotic and needs to be reorganized. Maybe it works for some people but not me. read more

We ordered food for a small (12 person) gathering and the food was wonderful. All food choices were a hit with the group. Thanks Comforts! They even customized a cake for us. read more

An absolute Marin staple. Grew up on Chinese chicken salads (35 years of these!) and have never tired of them or the taco salads. Comforts is the best. read more

I stopped by after an intense hike in the area to try their Chinese Chicken Salad. As recommended, it was amazing! I got the small and it was more than enough for my ravenous self. It was light, filling, fresh, and simple delicious. Only wish it had more chicken and maybe wontons. But delicious! I wanted to try the pastries, but after walking 11K steps I chose to be good. The place was clean and following COVID guidelines well. There was a line when I got there and when I left, but it was well worth it! I would go back again for the salad!! read more

Just had comforts for the first time and boy was it delicious. I had their infamous Chinese chicken salad (so good) and their chicken okasan (so delicious I could eat for days.) The salad has a nice amount of dressing on it and was crisp not wilted. Super flavorful chicken okasan. I can not wait to go back and eat some more! read more

15 years ago, they had awesome Chinese Chicken Salads with awesome dressing and gave you a complimentary bread roll. Today, the dressing is watered down like liquor in Tijuana. Bread is non-existent to compliment it. It's depressing to see how much they have cut corners and raised prices to maintain their revenue flow [and greed]. There are also rattlesnakes that are friendlier than the staff there. Coming from a regular who grabbed everything from your salads to Fried Chicken Okasan, shame on you. And please, make your cookies taste better than Trader Joe's. The latter has cookies that are LESS STALE read more

Chinese Chicken Salad. Chinese Chicken Salad. Chinese Chicken Salad!!! So delicious. That's all I ever get but I'm sure they make other good things too. I had a smoothie and at almost $7 it was not great. But that Chinese Chicken Salad tho!! ;) read more

Food great but the staff unfriendly and rude! I won't be going back there... disappointed as this place was recommended by a friend read more

I love comforts!! The chinese chicken salad is amazing. I also love their prepared foods. It's expensive, but worth it as I just go once in a while for a treat. They also have lovely gift ideas on the shelves and sometimes find an excellent olive oil, teacup or jam while there. Has literally been "comforting" to wander in there even during the pandemic- though the long lines and rushed service are a bummer (but necessary for safety.) Just glad this place is there. I can't eat sugar but if I could I would try all their desserts. :) The staff is mostly friendly. The only problem I have had is when people are waiting on line outside, and I or anyone has called in an order, and they don't let us in all the time or keep track of that. It's a covid related glitch. Otherwise love this place. read more

Great local Marin spot. The Chinese Chicken Salad is their signature dish (which you can eat there or take for the road). The Spring Rolls and Chicken Okasan are also delicious. I would estimate that I come here twice a month and 99% of the time I order out. The line is often daunting around lunch time but if you know what you are doing and just get to the front you can usually bypass the indecisive line dwellers. I have eaten in here twice and the service was less than adequate. It took forever and is why I take it to go. Their 3 main dishes are so good that it is worth dealing with the often busy deli and eating area. read more

I've only been here for one thing and I've never wanted anything else at this establishment: The "Chinese" Chicken Salad. Let me tell you, this is the best Chinese Chicken Salad I've ever had. I first had it about 10 years ago and I always come back to San Anselmo just to get a huge tub of this salad (ok, at least two tubs). I bring it back to my home in San Francisco and I get really sad when I finish all the salad I bought within two days (besides, salads don't last too long after that.....at least that's what I tell myself to justify having over 15 pounds of salad within a 48-hour period). Anyway, I should really come back to try brunch. read more

Five stars for food service and location I will be back. Asian chicken salad a must ! read more

Filling, flavorful Chinese chicken salad. Enjoyed the combination of chopped cabbage, green onions, slivered almonds, chicken, sesame seeds, noodles, it's toothsome and hearty. Not what's expected of a 'salad'. Skipped dessert, but pastries looked tempting. Great place for a bite to eat. read more

The best Chinese chicken salad ever! They're seasonal lemonades are awesome and usually involve basil or lavender. read more

The most delicious lunch (and I'm sure breakfast and dinner too)! I ordered take out via phone from Comforts today and got the Chinese Chicken Salad. This is apparently their famous salad and I see why! When I went to pick it up, I didn't realize what an incredible selection they had. Next time I will pop in to order so I can (safely) check out a few other items. One thing to note, if you pay via phone and want to tip, offer to do so then. I missed this and realized that I didn't have a chance to tip (via card) when I picked my order up. In hindsight, this meal and the service is definitely deserving of a tip, especially during these times! read more

Comforts brings comfort.. to my belly! Few things bring more contentment than enjoying my brunch on a Sunday morning in the outdoor patio at Comforts. Sipping on my tea, Checking out the pups playing two tables over.. Diving in my overly-generous ration of food Wondering what adorable new finds arrived at the thrift shop across the street. Food has always been delicious, always arriving hot at the table, glasses are kept filled, and service is corteous, friendly, but never overbearing. I always leave full, yet I still find myself wandering off to the room nextdoor and wanting to buy.. more food. How could one not? Both the deli and the bakery are too visually enticing! read more

It's become so expensive we just go by occasionally now. No more self service coffee, pandemic practices make it less 'comforting and place to hang out'. Something's changed but we hope it'll get back to pre-C19 comfy cozy old hang out!! Hugs to you all. read more

I love the diversity of what Comforts has to offer. Not only do they have a great restaurant, but they also have an impressive take-out counter. The lunches are what make us happiest. My husband loves the veggie burger and I am extremely happy when they have wild salmon on their menu. I've been lucky lately as it has been a treat for me the last few visits. Lunch is very affordable as well. As for breakfast/brunch, they are not at the top of my list. We tried to make this a regular place for the first meal of the day, though were disappointed with the price, lack of variety and flavor compared to some of our other favorite breakfast spots. We have visited the take-out counter and have been impressed with the great variety and flavor. The prices are a little expensive, though for what seems like a "home cooked meal" without the trouble of actually cooking at home, it is a fair compromise. Five stars for lunch, four stars for breakfast and take-out. read more

Comforts - Pecan crusted french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Anselmo, California

As much as I love Comforts for their delicious breakfast menu, amazing Chinese Chicken Salad, and those mouth watering spring rolls . . . I'm writing this review for their catering food & crew. We recently had their crew come to our home to serve a 100 person party. They brought their artisan cheese plates (who doesn't love local cheeses!?!), homemade bread rolls (cheese, rosemary, and sun-dried tomato), chicken piccata (rich and flavorful), roasted veggies (seasoned hearty root veggies), and butternut squash with greens (delicious!). The food was incredible! Our guests were raving about the cuisine and we felt so lucky to have such great quality food at our home. Another 5 stars goes to their cater crew. The staff that came into our home was professional, hard working, and so kind. I can't thank them enough for all they did! Serving, cleaning, moving tables, etc . . . they did it all. I highly recommend them for your next event. read more

OK deli. Chinese Chicken Salad very good but otherwise nothing special. Well located. Easy parking.

Ordered from them twice for two catering orders this week. Staff is great food is amazing. Their variety is oh so much on what you can buy to eat there or purchase and make on your own. It looks fresh and all is made there. My crew loved the food and raves about the salmon and Chinese chicken salad (I guess they are known for it) not from the area but if I am there again I'll stop by. They are on a busy street so no parking lot for them. Also one suggestion, maybe catering and pick up register communicate more? Both times I Came in and said I had an order to pick up I was told no or "I don't think so" before they realized I did. Just a suggestion :) read more

Love love comforts. We drove across the golden gate to stock up. Salads chicken shrimp and rice krispy squares ! Delicious and worth the trip (as always ) read more

Ahhh Comforts...the nostalgia of my high school days are often paired with their Chinese chicken salad or their chicken Okasan (AKA "magical chicken"). Their salad is so simple yet so delicious and it's due to their homemade dressing. I would never describe myself as a salad eater - it is a waste of chewing effort and hardly ever keeps me satiated. That said...I would eat salads more often if they were accompanied by Comforts' dressing. As for their chicken Okasan, there is a reason why we dubbed it "magical chicken" back in the day. It is bomb-tastic and worth every penny. Not going to lie, this will probably be one of the most bougie "fried" chicken you'll have, but trust me when your girl tells you that it has converted even the most skeptical of non-believers. You can get the magical goodness by the pound, plated with rice and veggies, or sandwiched between sourdough and melted jack cheese. Of course I've tried all 3 versions and can say that I like it plain and simple, followed by the sammich, and lastly, on the plate. For some reason, the chicken is slightly different when plated - it has a different texture and a bit too crispy all throughout. Still yummy nonetheless! read more

the egg Benedict was so lite and delicious and it was just perfect I could eat it forever

There aren't many places like this in Marin, ya know, hip. Not to mention delicious food, lively atmosphere, and an interesting variety. Highly recommend read more

Chinese chicken salad built this very successful breakfast and lunch place.....and for good reason. It's addictive. You can get a "lite" version which really cuts the calories and while not quite as good as the regular it's a great meal to eat if you're watching your calories. Also, try the sit down restaurant for breakfast, they make great breakfasts and it's a great place to meet friends for a weekend or weekday get together. We're lucky to have it in downtown San Anselmo. read more
